Simultaneous Perspective
Simultaneous Perspective is an interactive computer and video installation that creates a space in which the viewers are made aware of their presence within the context of a larger environment. It is an electronic reduction of a live three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional space.The work incorporates multiple live images into a single image creating a live collage.This image contains elements from many different live images of different scales and different locations. All of the elements within the image connect the viewers to their immediate presence in the space.They see a live image of the building that they are in from the outside. They see the street and sidewalk outside the building.They also see a candle within the image that is a live magnified image of a candle that is just the outside the room containing the image. Lastly the viewers see an image of themselves as a shadow. This dynamic collage is constantly changing due to the movement of the various elements within the image.The candle's fluctuating flame is seen as a flickering light source within the collage causing other elements of the image to appear as though they are partially lit by the candle. For example, the live image of the building flickers as though lit by the candle.
